Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
13 postcards for a summer postcard swap.... and a little gershwin, because everything goes better with a little gershwin.
happy birthday summer, it's nice to see you.
what a great idea for postcards! I, too, love this song, and my favorite version is by Ray Charles/Cleo Laine. Have you heard that version? Breathtakingly beautiful.

hi!
love this song... it's one of the songs that comes out of my lips very easily while I'm at work!!! And I'm more of a fall girl, can't deal with a lot of heat (I'm from Portugal)...

I received my postcard last night and I LOVE it so much. My wedding music was Gershwin so this made me really happy to see the song lyrics. I love the drawing, the recipe and the thread colors, just lovely. Thankyou.
